If it was a Sundance Yellow 106 GTi then Yes 
^^ Looks well better than any 206 GTi 138 anyday!!
I also think the the shape of the 106 is better than the 206, lower down and looks meaner than the tall pouncy looking 206  |
I disagree mattie i think the 206 is so much better looking inside and out although i bet the 106 is more fun to drive but the 206 is a better car. |
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
I'd only say the 206 was better if it had a wider exhaust cut out dual exhaust and a 180 badge

I na straight line they are pretty much identical. Round the corners the 106 is faster than the 180 (Autocar proven - Handling Day 2003).
For everyday use I'd definately go for the more modern, more comfortable, more refined and safer 206.

Having had an 03 saxo vtr (I know, I know..) a few cars before my 136 gti which was crashed into and written off, I would never trust my life to a 106/saxo again, low speed crash left me seriously damaged, roof rippled, rear axle nearly snapped it bent so much. 206 has 4 ncap stars, does similar mpg day to day and is still great fun to drive when you gert a hoon on, and you can fling it around like a ragdoll just as much as a standard saxo/106. As a daily there is no comparison, safety and comfort with a similar driving experience (steering isnt as good on the 206 imho but it's still nearly as good to drive) win every time.
